====================
rxrpc: Better fix for DATA/RESPONSE decrypt vs splice()

Here are two patches containing better fixes for the in-place decryption of
DATA and RESPONSE packets that can corrupt pagecache spliced into UDP
packets and sent to an AF_RXRPC server [CVE-2026-43500], plus a patch to
precheck the length of rxgk-secured DATA packets.

Of the main patches, one patch fixes DATA decryption by having recvmsg
unconditionally extract the data into a flat bounce buffer and, if need be,
decrypt it there.  It doesn't seem to cause a performance problem to do
this even on unencrypted packets; for encrypted packets it makes sure the
content is correctly aligned for crypto which seems to get a small
performance gain.

Further, it means that DATA packets are no longer copied in the I/O thread,
avoiding a slowdown of the protocol engine that runs there.

The other main patch fixes RESPONSE decryption by having the connection
event handler worker copy the data to a flat buffer and, again, decrypt it
there.  This simplifies RESPONSE handling.

With these two fixes, the data content of the received sk_buff no longer
gets altered.
